It is not difficult to become a risky taxpayer these days
“If the tax authority determines a tax deficiency during the audit, it imposes a tax fine. The tax difference determined for the taxpayer is considered a tax deficiency, but in the case of self-taxation, only if the tax difference was not paid by the due date or if the budget support was used. The tax authority also imposes a tax penalty if the taxpayer has submitted his request for support, tax refund, or tax refund without authorization, or his declaration regarding the request, support, or refund”
– points out Dániel Kelemen, PwC Legal lawyer of the Réti, Várszegi and Partners Law Firm.
The amount of the fine can be no more than 200% of the tax deficiency or the unauthorized claim, if the tax deficiency was caused by concealing the income or using false documents. It is important to note that in the current practice of the tax authority, the application of a 200% fine is very common, in the case of questioning the right to deduct VAT charged in accepted supplier invoices, this happens in a significant number of cases. Moreover, the so-called in the case of risky taxpayers, 260% of the fine base can be imposed, in such a case there is no way to avoid the imposition of the tax fine, nor to reduce the fine.
